AXIS led a comprehensive team of consultants in the preparation and submission of an Outline application for 729 residential properties and a 100,000sq.ft Sainsbury’s superstore, on the outskirts of Haverfordwest. A detailed planning application was also submitted simultaneously for the retail unit, together with all necessary on-site and off-site facilitating infrastructure. Both applications were supported by EIA.

Valued at circa £106M, the development would introduce a valuable addition to the retail offer in the town and, at the same time, bring forward Pembrokeshire’s largest allocated residential site.

Adding circa £13M GVA per year into Pembrokeshire’s economy and creating approximately 500 full and part-time jobs, this project will help sustain Haverfordwest’s role as a sub-regional centre.

On the 3rd September, Pembrokeshire County Council’s Planning and Rights of Way Committee unanimously approved the applications, subject to a Section 106 Agreement; the terms of which had already been settled.

Following the signing of a Section 106 Agreement, on 31st January 2014 Pembrokeshire County Council’s Planning and Rights of Way Committee officially granted planning permission for the two planning applications for retail and residential development on land at Slade Lane, Haverfordwest.

It is envisaged that construction works will commence on site in the third quarter of 2014.
